Iron Maiden covers

[Danny rctv]

I know ther's been a few Iron maiden tribute albums but how about bands doing a Maiden tune on their albums?
A couple spring to mind.The first one I think ever was Sentinel Beast on their lone debut album "Depths of Death" they did "Phantom of the Opera",Vocalist Debbie Gunn was a huge Dianno fan.Interesting trivia their bassis Mark Spencer was the first guy to replace Jason Newstead in Flotsam & Jetsam when he left them to join Metallica.

Bay area thrashers Defiance did "Killers" on their second LP "Void Terra Firma"Their singer Steeev Esquivel now fronts Skinlab.

Satan worshipping industrial rockers the Electric Hellfire Club did a smokin' version of "Number of the Beast"on one of their last discs (I forget wich one)

Cradle of Filth did "Hallowed be thy Name" I never heard this & come to think of it,it may be on another Maiden tribute disc.

I saw Machine Head On Halloween once where they all dressed up like Motley Crue & had this dude dressed like a witch doctor come out & sing "Number of the Beast".I shot this on video it was hilarious!
Any others you guys can think of?

Sebastian Bach covered Children of the Damned on of of the many tribute albums out there... Opeth did a wonderful cover of Remember Tomorrow, and Children of Bodom have done a cover of Aces High... I think Metallica did Remember Tomorrow too... and I know that Anthrax did an EARLY Maiden cover... can't remember which though...

I just remembered! Arch Enemy did "Aces High".

oh yeah! but not with Angela? right?... I"d like to hear Angela cover a Maiden tune... Die With Your Boots sounds right up her alley

I adore Sebastian's version of Children Of The Damned. It's so incredible, that guy is an AMAZING singer!! I love Sonata Arctica's version of Die With Your Boots On, they really make it their own.

Check out the band Children of Bodom. They do Maiden covers. I think the songs are only available online tho?..

IN FLAMES did Murders in the Rue Morgue on a japanesse tribute album
also Dark Tranquillity did 22 Acacia Avenue and THERION did Children of the Damned in a very nice way...

...There's been lots of bands covering MAIDEN, but i think this three and the Remember Tomorrow version by OPETH are the best ones

Hey Danny rctv,

I am from Sacto and I was great friends with members of Beast. Their album had a few type ohs...the most important one was bassist Mark Spencer. They f@#ked up! His Name is Mike Spencer! LOL! When the record came out we all got a good laugh from it. Sentinel Beast also covered "Where Eagles Dare". An outstanding version, I might add. I don't see anyone from the band these days. I wonder how they're all doing? Anyway, that's cool that someone has heard of them.
